Another Prelim rider here--also riding early--but I love that they have the times up so soon!

We should try to meet up somehow; I missed all the COTHers last year (except for yellowrose, who was fortuitously stabled down the aisle from me.)

It's nice that they have the x-country after dressage, then stadium the next morning. (6 hours between the first two phases in my case; plenty of time to "recover" from dressage ) I only hope it doesn't turn hot this weekend!

Cows will have all come home and back to pasture

Lisa dear, The cows will have all been milked and back out to pasture long before you ride!
AND all the CCI* long formater will all have started Phase before you even start to warm-up - Buck up you don't want to miss the best part of the day!
See you all soon.

I'll be there with my packer-pal, Charlie (aka My Own Agenda) going training. Had an awesome lesson with Emily today and am keeping my fingers crossed that I can carry all the goodness over to the show.

I am super excited about the weekend. I love this show and can't wait to see everyone, especially you people who I haven't seen since the Fall VHT.

Hubby and I will probably be starting the five long format CCI* riders out on Phase A and then will move to our show jumping steward positions for the duration of the weekend (actually starting that Friday afternoon.....) Looking forward to seeing everyone!

I am one of those LF people, THANKS PENNY!!!! I will not have time to stew in the AM for sure, now if I will be able to sleep is another thing

We'll be there going prelim...and I love my times! I prefer going early in the morning, and I'm not even a morning person, but when you have to sit around all day being nervous/anxious/excited, it makes for a long day!

We'll be there

I won't be competing however. Fairweather and I will be there for the second round of The Ozzy Philosophy Award. So if y'all know anyone you want to nominate or you want to nominate yourself have at it! Penny if you feel like putting a link on your website to the Ozzy site feel free.
